 * Hi,
 * Your pluin is very impressive… I have noticed a small problem… I would like edit
   the “menu order” with the quick edit, but it isn’t work. I can change the menu
   order with normal edit function, but when I use quick edit, then the “menu order”
   field is uneditable. Every other quick edit function is working properly. Have
   you got any idea? It’s a plugin problem or my specific problem?
 * Kind regards,
    Attila

 * Thank you for the positive comments and for your report.
 * I have just done some testing on my system and the “Menu Order” field in the 
   Quick Edit area is working for me. I am able to set the Menu Order to non-zero
   values, click “Update” and see the results. Setting the Menu Order to zero (“
   0”) is also working.
 * You wrote ‘**_the “menu order” field is uneditable_**‘; does that mean the field
   is present but you cannot enter a value, i.e., it is read-only? Or, do you mean
   that changes you enter in the field are not updating the item?
 * If the field is present but read-only, perhaps your theme or another plugin is
   setting the field to read-only with a CSS style. Do you know how to investigate
   that possibility?
 * I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear back from you. Any additional
   information you can provide will be helpful.

 * I made a small video about this affair… the link is:
    [ google drive link  Yes,
   a can’t edit the value of “menu order”, it’s read only… but it is seems rather
   programming bug, because I try click on the field, then is isn’t get the focus.
   But the “Author” filed is flash, when I clicked anywhere in this row. Everytime“
   Author” field get the focus. I use Headway Themes, and I haven’t any idea how
   investigate this. But I use a lot of other plugins what are wirking properly 
   with custom CSS codes.

 * Thank you for taking the time to produce a video clip demonstrating your “read-
   only menu order” issue. Seeing is believing, but I am no closer to having a theory
   of how the problem is caused.
 * There is no MLA code I know of that is active until you click “Update” or “Cancel”
   after making your Quick Edit changes. I have tried my own Microsoft Windows system
   with Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox; all of them work fine. I doubt your
   problem is browser-specific. My only idea is that some JavaScript code or CSS
   style is preventing your Menu Order text box from getting the focus and allowing
   updates.
 * The next step in my investigation would be to use the browser’s “developer tools”
   to look at the page source code and the scripts running on the page. To do that
   on your site I would need a temporary “Author”, “Editor” or “Administrator” level
   account. If that’s possible you can contact me with logon information at our

 * Thank you for contacting me through our web site and giving me access to your
   test system.
 * By selectively deactivating and reactivating plugins on your system I was able
   to identify “Visual Composer Clipboard” as the cause of the issue you reported
   in this topic. Deactivating that one plugin eliminates the problem, reactivating
   it causes the problem to reappear.
 * If you must keep Visual Composer Clipboard active, you can work around the problem
   by placing the cursor in the Parent ID field and then pressing the Tab key twice.
   The will get you to the Menu Order field and you can change the value without
   other problems.
 * “Visual Composer Clipboard” is a premium plugin so I do not have access to the
   code for further investigation. You can take this problem to the plugin author
   to see if they can fix it.
 * I am marking this topic resolved because MLA is working properly. Thanks again
   for working with me to identify the cause of this most interesting behavior, 
   and for your interest in Media Library Assistant.

 * Thank you for your update and the kind words. I would be happy to work with the
   Visual Composer Clipboard developers if there is anything I can do to help.
